Freezer operation
Temperature adjustment
The temperature of the freezer is adjusted by
means of the knob assembled on the
thermostat (item. 3), position „MAX" being
the lowest temperature.
The achieved temperatures can vary
according to the conditions of use of the
appliance, such as: place of the appliance,
ambient temperature, frequency of door
opening, extent of filling with food of the
freezer. The position of the thermostat knob
will change according to these factors.
Normally, for an ambient temperature of
approx. 32 0 C, the thermostat will be adjusted
on an average position.
The signalling system is placed on the front
side of the freezer (Item 4).
It includes:
1. Thermostat adjustment knob – the inside
temperature is adjusted.
2. green LED – shows that the appliance is
supplied with electric energy.
3. red LED – damage – lights if the
temperature in the freezer is too high. The
LED will operate 15-45 minutes after the
putting into operation of the freezer, then it
must go off. If the LED goes on during the
operation, this means that defects have
occurred.
4. orange LED – shows compressor running
The three LEDs give information about the
mode of operation of the freezer.
Advice for food conservation
The freezer is intended to keep the frozen food
for a long time, as well as to freeze fresh food.
One of the main elements for a successful food
freezing is the packing.
The main conditions that the packing must fulfill
are the following: to be airtight, to be inert
towards the packed food, to resist to low
temperatures, to be proof to liquids, grease,
water vapours, smells, to be able to be washed.
These conditions are fulfilled by the following
types of packings: plastic or aluminium film,
plastic and aliminium vessels, waxed cardboard
glasses or plastic glasses.
Fluids can leak from foods placed in your
freezer without wrapping or with damaged
wrapping. The leaking fluids can corrode your
freezer's metal surfaces, warp its plastic
surfaces, and lose its hygiene conditions
(leading to odour and bacterial formation).
Therefore, store your food completely sealed
with the types of wrapping recommended in
your freezer's user manual.
To avoid damaging your freezer and its metal
surfaces, store acidic foods (peeled fruit,
tomatoes, citrus fruits, etc.) and salted foods
(smoke meat, salted fish, salted cheeses,
home-cooked meals, etc.) in containers or
wrapping materials suitable for freezer use.
I M P O R T A N T !
- For freezing the fresh food please use the
supplied baskets of the appliance.
- Do not place into the freezer a too large
quantity of food at a time. The quality of the
food is best kept if they are deeply frozen as
quickly as possible. This is why it is advisable
not to exceed the freezing capacity of the
appliance specified in the "Product Fiche".
- The fresh food must not come into contact with
the food already frozen.
- The frozen food you have bought can be
placed into the freezer without having to adjust
the thermostat.
- If the freezing date is not mentioned on the
packing, please take into consideration a period
of max. 3 months, as a general guide.
- The food, even partially defrosted, cannot be
frozen again, it must be consumed immediately
or cooked and then refrozen.
- The fizzy drinks will not be kept in the freezer.
- In case of a power failure, do not open the
door of the appliance. The frozen food will not
be affected if the failure lasts less than 67
hours.
